Glix 5mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Glix 5mg Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication, with glibenclamide (also known as glyburide) as its active ingredient, belonging to a class of medicines known as sulfonylureas. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering how it fits into managing your blood sugar — it's taken once daily, generally with or immediately after breakfast, and works fairly quickly, with effects noticeable within about 15 to 60 minutes and lasting roughly 24 hours. Some people experience side effects such as nausea, stomach upset, or low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), particularly if a meal is skipped or delayed after taking the tablet. It's meant to be taken consistently alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise, as part of a long-term diabetes management plan, and treatment usually continues indefinitely unless your doctor advises otherwise. Because this medication can cause your blood sugar to drop too low, it's worth learning to recognise the early signs of hypoglycaemia and having a quick chat with your doctor or pharmacist about your other medications before starting this medicine.

The usual starting dose for adults is 2.5mg to 5mg daily, which may be adjusted by your doctor in increments over time, up to a maximum daily dose of 15mg. Doses above 10mg are often split into two daily doses, and elderly patients generally start on a lower dose given their increased sensitivity to blood sugar drops.

• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Heartburn or stomach fullness
• Abdominal pain
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
• Increased appetite and weight gain
• Skin rash or hives (uncommon)
• Reduced sodium levels in the blood (uncommon, identified through blood tests)
• Decreased blood cell counts, such as platelets or red blood cells (rare)
• Jaundice or liver-related issues (rare)

Store the tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light. Keep out of reach of children.

• Take with or immediately after breakfast, and don't skip meals
• Learn to recognise the signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shakiness, or dizziness
• Always carry a fast-acting sugar source with you in case of hypoglycaemia
• Check the expiry date before use
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat and light
• Keep out of reach of children
• Monitor your blood sugar regularly as advised by your doctor
• Avoid or limit alcohol, and be cautious with driving until you know how this medication affects you

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, taken with or immediately after breakfast or the first main meal of the day. Avoid skipping meals after taking this medication, as doing so increases the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low.

Glix 5mg Tablet generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the strip and outer packaging before use.

• Glibenclamide (Glyburide) – a second-generation sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release from the pancreas

• Known hypersensitivity to glibenclamide, other sulfonylureas, or sulfonamide medications
• Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis
• Not recommended during pregnancy
• Not recommended while breastfeeding
• Severe kidney or liver impairment, requiring caution and often a reduced dose
• Not recommended for use in children

Certain medications, including other diabetes treatments, some antibiotics, and NSAIDs like ibuprofen, can increase the blood sugar-lowering effect of glibenclamide, raising the risk of hypoglycaemia. Other medications, such as those containing oestrogen or thiazide diuretics, may reduce its effectiveness, so it's essential to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications you're taking, and it's best to avoid or limit alcohol, as it can affect blood sugar control.
